In depth

Verdict

Willie Mullins can crown a successful afternoon with another winner courtesy of DOUNEVE. A half-sister to a 1m1f winner in France, he should have enough pace for this before going jumping and the opposition looks decidedly moderate. Bestseller and Candeeiro have both been beaten favourites in point-to-points and the pair with experience in this sphere, Tidy Zag and Goldski, have shown very little though the former didn't do too badly when last seen almost a year ago. The other newcomer Tempestoso has a decent pedigree and is a half-brother to a winner on the Flat in Germany so is one to keep an eye on.
